Russia-Ukraine war – latest: ‘Mutinies likely’ in Putin’s military as Zelensky prepares counteroffensive
As Ukraine prepares its long-awaited counter-offensive to recapture occupied territories, the war-torn country’s military intelligence said there were likely to be mutinies among retreating Russian forces.
Andriy Yusov, the spokesperson of Ukraine military intelligence, said yesterday that mutinies may occur in Russia’s army “as a result of the successful actions of Ukraine’s defense and security forces and the de-occupation of our territory.”
Commenting on the counteroffensive, a senior Ukrainian official warned that the country does not have enough weaponry to launch the operation.
Mr Zelensky visited 10 countries and held more than 60 meetings last month in an attempt to get more weapons with an official saying “all is needed” for a counter-offensive.
The Ukrainian president held three meetings with Rishi Sunak as part of his efforts to bolster arsenals and air defenses with talks of a spring push now seeming more likely to happen in the summer.
